Archer continues to blow the ceiling off the grump scale as Matt and Andy ask, "Why the crap was this even set in the past?"

Odo wanders around in the back of some shots. Kira trips (offscreen). Don't bother buckling up for this one, crew.

NOW - as suggested by Lt. Cmdr. Louth-Robins, here are his suggested age breakdowns to get a sense of the ages of our crew. Feel free to suggest a different way to slice the bread in a future T'Poll, because, as we all know, I'm T'Poll crazy (-Andy).

2023-08-17 05:47:24 +0000 UTC View PostJoin us for the audio-only stardrive section (Pt. 2) of our TNC livestream of the STRANGE NEW WORLDS season 2 finale [audio-only saucer section (livestream Pt 1) in previous post]. Slightly less chaotic and meandering than part one (but not completely), Matt and Andy debate the semantics of the Federation's borders, whether Gorns should have battle tails (or spacesuits), and try to figure out the mystery of Pike's suddenly-weird hair.
2023-08-14 06:52:43 +0000 UTC View PostYes, as in actual Trek, the saucer section is removed rarely and only in the most dire of circumstances, which this was, due to many technical hurdles to our delivering you this TNC livestream episode. The problems were finally worked out by Cap'n Mira, but a saucer section/star drive separation was necessitated (Stardrive [livestream, Pt 2] audio wherein we discuss the episode in depth to be posted following this post).

I think I figured out how to do this... We are starting at 2pm, I will be there trying to figure this out before then... In any case. Andy and I will finally discuss the finale to season 2 of disco, whoops I mean SNW. Sorry we had to do an emergency saucer separation... Luckily there were only minimal casualties.
2023-08-13 20:12:21 +0000 UTC View PostSorry, Secunda loves a T'poll! I may be wrong, but looking at the previous singing Klingons poll, some crew may have been backed into voting for "I'm messing with you" because there was no third option for "I didn't like it." So I'm clarifying.
Thanks to those who reminded me to post the T'polls, and apologies to those whose racht we yucked!
2023-08-12 20:42:21 +0000 UTC View PostAs per Matt's question (not Andy's, he knows what the answer to this is), do the members of our crew who loved the Klingon bit ACTUALLY love it, or are you messing with us?
